Do you admit to being learning-impaired or to think that being learning-
impaired is a joking matter? Either is pretty tasteless. If humor is
your calling, why are you not interested in joking about the silliness of
your mistakes and how easily you could have avoided them with a little
more concentration and dedication to your goal of making each and every
one of all the mistakes you ever make in your life once and only once?
Cockroaches can do it. Pigs can do it. Even sheep do not repeat their
mistakes. Granted, they live much shorter lives, do not vote for George
W. Bush except in Florida, and their death is usually well planned and
deemed for a good cause (just as in Texas), which could warp anyone's
ethics, but I think human beings should learn from their mistakes, too.
For instance, if I were to visit the USA soon, no doubt some IRS person
would have read comp.lang.lisp while waiting for the lines to grow long
enough, and I would regret the mistake of posting anti-Bush materials.
I can wait for the American people to correct /their/ mistake, but I do
not have particularly high hopes that the GOP will admit to theirs. See?
If people make the same mistake all over again, that sure is no laughing
matter. This is really, really serious. Learn from your mistakes today!
